I would absolutely believe the depiction of below normal temps being shown mid March through April. It's in the winter where it's not reliable. I haven't figured out why that is, but I suspect that whatever is going on with the climate is creating a reality that is in conflict with the model algorithms. In other words, there's something going on in real life that the models are not properly accounting for in their longer range depictions when they try to show cold.
Like I said, I don't know what it is, but an adjustment needs to be made. Until that happens, it's usually a waste of time following 15+ day predictions of cold in the east. But when that's all you have, I get the interest in it.
Anyway, our string of crappy winters continues.
